"lNDEFGNITELY POSTPONED" is the
way the Senate dealt with the State
Normal School bill. This was Il
measure that should have been
law. 1t dealt directly with the ed
ucational interests Of the whole
State. The offer of the Trustees of
Newark Academy to allow the build
ing to be used for State institution
should have been accepted. We un-
derstand the only opposition Of any
importance came from the Confer
cnce Academy, at Dover Why
this sectarian institution should

through jealousy. We always I'M

life was given up to labor, and he
was ever interested in the welfare of
his town and fellow-man. His
views did not always agree with the

keen spirit of determination, and
fought for that which he believed to

To Enlarge.

In few days the ARGUS will appear in
an enlarged form nine columns of TWEEN
ty five inches in length to the page. This
will be equal to an increase of nearly
seven columns over its present size,
which is now larger than any previous
issue. Five years ago the ARGUS was
revived into six column folio. after sew
eral weeks of suspended publication, and
its advancement and growth has been
both rapid and permanent. As the news
papers of city are an index of its com
mercial prosperity, the success of the
ARGUS reflects the soundness of our
business interests, and is an unfailing ins
dication of the financial stability of the
city, II is also source of qualification
to the proprietor to know that his
efforts to give the people OF Rock
Island a good, live, local news
paper, is so generously appreciated that
continued enlargement has been neces-
sary to meet the growing demands Of the
papers many patrons. 1t is also with
pleasure that we note that the subscrip
ton list of the ARGUS is larger than ever
before. and is constantly growing. With
the proposed increased in size, we will be
able to give our advertising patrons bet
ter service, and our readers an additional
supply of news. The nine column size
will be continued until after the holidays,
and as much longer as business will JUS

which came from nobody knows where
was moored at the bank just below the
government bridge. 1t remained there
four or five days. 1t was occupied by
two men and woman One of the men
was Swede, and he told his countrymen
near his hsrbor that his home was in
Minnesota, that the man and his wife
were friends with whom he had boarded
a couple of years, and that they we're
going south on their boat to spend the
winter5ss they pleased and where they
pleased Their living would not cost
much In the spring they could sell their
boat for enough to pay their way back to
their old home in Wabashs. The SweIe's
name was Carl Casen, and Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph H Cross were his companions.
Carlson was pale and looked like cons
sumptive. On Thursday they bought
onions and potatoes and set sail for the
south.
They arrived at Fairport twenty miles
below, on Friday-and there Garrison
went before Justice Mcdonald and pre-
ferred charges against Cross and his wife,
accusing them of attempting to take his
life by poisoning him. The warrant of
arrest was placed in the hands of Consta-
bic Sherfey, who arrested the man and
woman and took them before the squire
Garrison had overheard the plan of I'll e
two villainous companions. The woman
was administering poison in doses, and
when the man preferred the charge he
was suffering from the effects of a deadly
drug, giving nearly every symptom of
poisoning. 1t was the couples intention
to kill off Carlson and throw him over
board and go on down she river, hiding
all trace of the crime He owned a
greater portion of the boat, and it was
their object to get rid of him and have
clear sailing; but luckily their conversa>
tious were overheard. and Garrison took
prompt steps to bring them to justice.
Unfortunately, however, he could moi
produce sufficient evidence to warrant
the court to bind the man aud woman
over to the grand jury, although then
intentions were plainly visible. Carlser
sold his interest in the craft to the con
stable, who in turn sold to the man and
woman, who were released, and at once
